Algiers

A jewel of the Mediterranean, Algiers is simultaneously a major port and a beautiful testimony of the past. Book a flight to Algiers.

“Alger, la Blanche” justifies its fame with the intense light of the houses descending the hillside. After the civil war, the city catches up with tourism, but the 3 million inhabitants know how to welcome visitors.

A city within the city
Visiting Algiers is discovering two worlds. There’s the old Kasbah on the top of the hill, a UNESCOS’s World Heritage site, labyrinth of narrow streets and islamic art where 80 thousand people live. And then there’s the french-influenced modern city, that descends towards the sea. Museums, operas and cafés concentrate mostly on Didouche Mourad, Algiers’ main street.

Dive in the urban rhythm
With many natural resources and gorgeous beaches spread throughout the country, the capital of Algeria offers a thriving cultural life. The Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Antiquities and the Bardo Museum are great choices. Feel like resting after experiencing the flea market near the El Jedid mosque? Ask for a mint tea and enjoy your seat in the promenade by the sea.
